Fresh snow started falling about 10pm the night before, which meant glorious conditions at the base. The middle was a bit cold, though, and I think the top was closed, at least in the morning.

As awesome as fresh powder (even atop some ice) is, it was damned cold by noon. We left, stopping in Bishop for surprisingly decent pizza at Upper Crust, more Schat's, and then dinner several hours later was at the oh-so-yummy Hurry Curry on Sawtelle.
